Backstage JB is with Team Cage. Cage says they already have the match in the bag, it's time for a celebration. Everybody is Cage's family except for Abyss because he's an imbecile. Abyss confronts Cage, Mitchell waves his cell phone around and tells him to stop. Cage says only the best for Team Cage. Cornette put the Lockdown advantage back to Cage, and that's the correct thing to do. Angle has a traitor on his team in J e haha double f. You know the rest. It's just like Christmas. JB says he doesn't mean to take the angel off his tree but what if any of his team get the pin? Cage says it's all a mute point because everyone knows the Instant Classic will get the win. Cage walks off as the rest of Team Cage fight and argue. Steiner says it's not like Christmas, Christmas is 8 months away. Tomko tells him to be careful he'll hurt someone with that brain.
(Eval- Decent enough, Tomko and Cage rule. Rating- *)

(Eval- An okay match, Gail is a good wrestler and she tries her hardest to sell the horrible wrestling of others. Rating- **)

In the back JB is talking about the upcoming Starr v. Senshi match. JB asks Backlund if he's going to call the match down the movie. Backlund goes on a rant about there being something 'synergistic' going on. He points at the camera and asks JB if he sees that lady out there, no, not that one. The other one. Was JB aware of the connection they hard, he said no. Good, because neither does Backlund.
(Eval- Funny. Backlund promos rock. Rating- * 1/2)

(Eval- Very nice match, I love watching these guys go at it. Backlund did a good job as ref. Rating- ***)

Backstage with JB and Joe. Joe asks where Kurt was when he wanted to know who his partner was, when he begged him who their fifth man was. He was nowhere to be seen. It's never been hard to find Joe, it's just been convenient for Angle not to find them. For all the integrity Kurt has, he has no intelligence. Jeff is a scumbag and Joe knows what his plan is. No matter how much he hates and despises Kurt, he and Jeff will never get along. Whenever Jeff wants to make his move, go ahead, he'll be waiting. He will break Jeff, maim Jeff and anyone else who gets in his way for the title shot, will meet the same fate.
(Eval- I love Joe promos. Rating- **)

Video package of the Chris Harris/James Storm feud.

Blindfold Match: James Storm v. Chris Harris
This match lasted about seven minutes. If you've seen a blindfold match, you know what happens. They walk around the ring trying to find one another. A couple bumps but they never really interact. They meet once and Cowboy swings wildly but Wildcat hits him with a stiff left knocking the head cover off.

The head cover's kept coming off which was annoying and they never really fought. The crowd kept chanting 'boring' and 'We Want Wrestling'. The match came to an end when Harris mistakes the ref for Storm and puts him in a sharp shooter. Storm takes the bag off, super kicks Harris and puts the bag back on, 1-2-3. James Storm wins.
(Eval- I think I said it all. Horrible. Rating- 1/2 * only because of the stiff left.)

Backstage Kurt runs into Sting and asks him how he's feeling. Sting says the thing with Jeff doesn't mean anything, it's in the past. The damage is done. Kurt thinks Jarrett has changed, and Sting can choose to trust him or not, it doesn't matter, but they're all on the same side. Sting remembers the match that Jeff had at Bound For Glory. Something happened in Jeff that night, Kurt and Sting both saw it happen. He doesn't know what happened nor is it his business. Tonight Sting is giving him the benefit of the doubt, but if he screws him over one time shame on him. It'll be bad for Kurt too. Sting walks away and Kurt states that 'This job sucks.'
(Eval- Nice exchange. Rating- * 1/2)

Team 3D in the back, Ray says he's sick and tired of hearing his own voice. Month after month they've lost to LAX. They've been screwed month after month, night after night, week after stinkin' week. What LAX has done to their family has never happened. America put an electrified fence to keep people like them out. Tonight, it'll keep them in. Tonight they will solidify their legacy and take a place in history next to some of the best in the business. Tonight, they will become twenty time tag team champions. In the words of Terry and Dory, LAX. Konnan. Funk U.
(Eval- Haha, I always loved Funk U. Rating- *)

Video package of the LAX/3D feud.

Backstage, Konnan says that tonight they'll raise the level of violence. Shattered dreams, the legacy ends. They're washed up. What do they have? DVon get the tables and wassup? He doesn't know what's worse, watching their matches or a Christy Hemme promo. Tonight, due to the ten thousand volts in the cage, one of them may be knocked unconscious. If they do, it'll be just like Animal Planet, they'll be chopping meat. LAX will stay tag team champions. He hopes 3D has luck on their sides. Homicide says for everyone to tune into channel 5150, LAX TV. Hernandez lives and dies in LAX. (Please?)
(Eval- *Cries.* MAKE IT STOP! Rating- 1/2 *)

(Eval- A very good cage match, but a horrible "electrified" cage match. Probably the best bout between these two teams. I'm glad 3-D won, hopefully this feud will stop, but in all honesty? With how horrible that gimmick of a match was, I don't think it really means anything that they won. Ya know, if this had been ten years ago in Philadelphia, we would have had real electricity. Rating- **)

Backstage with Kurt Angle. Angle says what he did was right, every turn he makes, they question his integrity and say he did something wrong. His job was to assemble the best wrestlers he could, he did that. He would have never called JJ if he wasn't trustworthy. What they don't understand, is if Jeff screws Team Angle. He screws Kurt Angle. That would be bad.
(Eval- Decent enough. Rating- *)
